While Heaven Ray Cox, an Orange County teenager reported missing Sunday, is home safe, the sheriff's office said Friday that authorities are still looking at "actual players" involved in her disappearance.

As of Friday afternoon, Det. Janois Grizzaffi said no charges had been filed in Cox's disappearance. The Mauriceville-area girl was found in Louisiana Thursday night and was reunited with her mother.

As of now, Grizzaffi said the department is interviewing people who could be connected to the incident, but are not releasing any names.

Cox was located through a tip. She was found at the residence of a relative of a person known by the 15-year-old girl, the department said.
